Since there can be only one winner in a golf tournament, how high you place in a tournament plays a big factor on the ranking system. Last week Paula Creamer was ranked No. 2 and Wie was ranked 3rd. Creamer finished 11th in the Fields Open while Wie finished 3rd. Since Wie did better than Creamer, the formula that they are using moved Wie ahead of Creamer. I really don't know how the formula works but it apparently looks at how the golfer has done over the last two years, with particular focus on the last 13 weeks.
